Project setup and 3-axis machining

Module overview

Most machined parts will start with some basic 2.5 or 3-axis operations to rough away material and get ready for multi-axis positioning or simultaneous multi-axis finishing operations. Learn how to set up a multi-axis part by using 2.5 and 3- axis operations to rough away material.

After this module, you'll learn how to: 

• Create a new CAM setup.
• Create 2.5 and 3 axis roughing operations.
